The boiler or .kettl ih COVBI' universal joint 49 while the upper end is flanged andengages the top of the kettle around the opening 35. A suitable cover 38 of conical shape is provided for closin the kettle, the cover being seated on' the flange of the funnel-shaped member 36, and set screws 39 are passed through inwardly extending lugs or cars l0,

secured to the top of the kettle and to which a bail 4.0 connects. By means of the set screws the cover 38 may be clamped tightly upon the kettle to close the same. This has a bearing 41 at its center or apex, and a shaft 42 is journaled in the bearing 41 and in the bearing 37 before mentioned. The shaft has a suitable crank 43,.and an agitator,-shown more particularly in Fig. 2, is connected with the lower end of the shaft, the agitator consistin of oppositely extending curved arms ll. he lower edges of these arms move close to the bottom of' the kettle, and it will be evident that when the agitator is turned by means of the crank 43, the arms will move over the bottom and will clean it from any sediment that may have collected thereon.

The pipe 7 before mentioned communicates with the tank 8 by means of a valve 45, shown more particularly in Figs. 2 and.

3. This valve is controlled by a float at) arranged within the tank and' connected to the valve by an arm-47. The -fioat is arranged to hold the water level at about the dotted line in Fig. 3, 'closin the valve when the water rises slightly a ove this point. The pipe 27 before mentioned communicates by a lateral branch 48 w th the tank 8. A

is interposed in this pipe 27 and also a union 50, the union being .between the universal joint and the kettle. By releasing the union 50 and the set screw 33 the kettle may be disengaged from the I condenser.

wa'rdl through the pipe By means of the pipe 27 the boiler or kettle may be drained. It will be noticed that this pipe has at its outer end a vertical portion 27 which, by means of the universal joint, may be turned downwardly to drain the kettle or boiler and when the said pipe is turned upwardly into the position of Fig. 1 the upper end thereof is above the water .evel ofthevboiler.

In operation, water being the boiler and the burner lighted, the water will be distilled. The steam will pass up- 18 to the elbow l and t e T17, into the annular space between the casings l and 2. The interior of the casing 1 isfilled with water from the inlet pipe 9, the 'said water passing out at the pipe 5 and condensing the steam in the annular space between the casings '1 and 2. As the steam issues from the elbow '19, the T 17 acts as an injector, drawing in air through the antiseptic cotton 23 and tho]? oughly mixing the. air with the steam as it introduced ihttifii is condensed. The water in the kettle is re tamed at a predetermined level by the float valve in the tank 8, and it' is thewater that has been heated by its assage through the In the embodunent of the invention shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the condenser 51. which is'a double walled receptacle of annular form, is arranged within the tank 52, and coaxial with the tank. A discharge pipe 53 leads from the bottom of'the'con denser and an inlet pipe 54 leads through the tank from the top-of the condenser. A T 55 is connected with this pipe outside the tank, and the heater, not shown, but of the same construction as that shown in Fig. 1', dischar es into the T by means of the elbow 56. he casing 57 corresponding to the casing 22 is connected with the T. The tank has a funnel-shaped top '58, and a pipe 59 leads from the said top downwardly at the'axis of the extends through the tank, and I v condenser a. little more than midway of the length of the condenser. The heater is supplied with water by a pipe 60 which extends laterally' from a 'pipetil arranged on the' valve 64 is interposed in the pipe 60 between the heater andthe pipe 61. A pipe 65 corresponding in function to that'of the pipe 27 is rotatably connected with the lower end of the pipe 61, and this drain pipe 65 is shown in lowered position, that is in position to drain, the heater.

In practice, Y

that the, upper end thereof will be above the level of the water in the heater. A suitable source of supply for cold water discharges into the funnel 58, and the cold water in the tank will cool and condense the steam which enters from the heater, and becoming warm will. passupwardly and out through the pipes (32, 61 and 60 to the heater.
